It seems like a released WWE Superstar has their destination set for 2026.
Back in May, a large number of WWE Superstars were surprisingly released from their contracts. One of the most shocking ones among them was Damage CTRL’s Dakota Kai.
Surprisingly, Kai hasn’t returned to the ring since her WWE release, but it appears that’s about to change very soon.
Last night during STARDOM YEAREND X’mas NIGHT 2025, a vingette aired seemingly teasing the arrival of the former WWE Superstar.
Eagle-eyed fans on social media were quick to point out that the streamer desk in the video is the same one that Dakota Kai uses.
You can check out the video in the embedded post below:
Due to STARDOM’s current association with AEW, this would open the door for Kai to potentially appear in the promotion at some point in 2026.
Here are the complete results for last night’s STARDOM event:
- Yuki Mashiro defeated Kikyo Furusawa
